Oklahoma Christian University graduate Philip Wood was on the Malaysia Airlines flight that is presumed to have crashed Saturday.

"The Oklahoma Christian University community was shocked and saddened to learn yesterday that Philip was on this flight," Executive Vice President Bill Goad said. "The thoughts and prayers of his many friends in the OC community are with the family at this time."

Philip graduated with a degree in computer science in 1985. He recently moved from North Texas to Beijing, where he worked as an executive with IBM. Please lift up his family in prayer.

"I just want to say from our family that Phil loved Christ, his family, and everyone," his brother, James Wood, said in a comment on our Facebook page. "Our hearts hurt, but we know so many around the world are hurting just as much by this terrible tragedy. Christ is our hope and strength. Please pray for everyone involved during this difficult time."
